From 1997 onwards Jordan Brand has released a flurry of lifestyle shoes that utilize features we love on Michael Jordan’s signature sneaker models. The Jordan Point Lane is the latest lifestyle offering from the brand – and this time it has arrived in one of the most iconic colourways to ever grace an Air Jordan sneaker.
The Jordan Point Lane takes its name from the street where Michael Jordan’s home in Highland Park, Illinois is located.
Despite being a lifestyle shoe, the Jordan Point Lane keeps a sporty vibe all over the shoe. Mostly because it takes inspiration from three iconic Air Jordan models. The 3, 6, and 11. The first thing you’ll notice on this new silhouette is the nubuck overlay taken from the Air Jordan 6. The J11’s tongue strip has been used as inspiration for the lace loop and placed just below the plush ankle collar. The 11’s nylon base can also be seen from the midfoot to the rear.
Air Jordan 3 details are found on the heel – specifically the TPU heel tab and the Nike Air emblem that has become a staple on most Air Jordans.
This colourway arrives in an all-black base with Infrared accents on the midsole – a nod to the Air Jordan 6 “Infrared”.
A large Air Max unit on the heel with TPU wing provides excellent cushioning for all-day comfort. Underneath the midsole is a mix of solid rubber and a translucent sole that runs from the heel to the lateral side of the outsole, and another section on the medial side. The forefoot features a multi-directional herringbone traction with a concentric pattern on the ball of the foot to ensure grip. A Jumpman logo can be seen on the forefoot and a “NIKE” label on the heel.
Launched in June 2021, the Jordan Point Lane is a solid and affordable option for fans of Jordan Hybrids. The huge Air Max unit is also a pretty cool addition.
With a colourway like the “Infrared” expect more iconic flavours from Jordan Brand as they release more pairs of the Jordan Point Lane. They have actually executed this one extremely well, they have endeavoured to pay homage to iconic Air Jordans and didn’t disappoint.
